I am a little nervoes today!! My daughter took off to her first "longer" school trip this morning!!
She already has been on a few,but this one is going to be a 5 day trip to the Netherlands.They will be on a Sailing Boat in those few days!! They will visit 4 different Islands,do a bicycle tour,will learn how to set the sails ( which i think is pretty awesome ) and do some shopping! Harlingen in the Netherlands is not to far away,it will take them about 8 hours with the bus,i am just a little worried about them being on the boat for a few days!! ;) All those kids on a not very big boat...not really liking the thought!! ;) These days will cost me a lot of nervs! haha

Ok,on to my card for today!!
Today it's Made in Minutes over at My Creative Time!
I was pretty quick this time! My card took me 14:17 minutes! Not bad!

I took a little break last week,because of some small health issues! I am doing better now,so i am back with a card for the new Freshly Made Sketches Challenge!!!

Our hostess this week is the amazing Jennifer Timko!! Not just is Jennifer a wonderful card maker but she also is one of sweetest ladys out there!!! I love her Sketch for this week!! So much you can do with it,i had SOO many ideas!!

And here is my card i made with it!! I FINALY got some new Clearly Besotted goodies last week!! I had so much to take care of lately,that it was impossible getting some new goodies!! I "hated" looking at their new releases,knowing i couldn't get any!! So my little crafty heart was broken! But the happier i was getting their package last week!! :) :) I love the new big apple from their Best Teacher Set!!! Fits perfectly to the An Apple a Day Set!! The scalloped Edge is also from Clearly Besotted!!
I used MFT's Electric Red and Sour Apple for the stamping and the same red for coloring in the scalloped edges! And the white embossing powder for the sentiment is WOW! Opaque Bright White Regular!

Happy Sunday!! I hope everyone is having a wonderful weekend!!
We had our first BBQ yesterday! One of the things i enjoy about this very hot weather here! It's supposed to rain today,doesn't look like it though! I would really appreciate a little cool breeze!!

Ok,anyways...i guess everyone already heard of the Pretty Pink Posh Watercolor Blog Hop?!!
And since i love me some watercoloring,i though i'de join in on the fun!! :)

I used one of my favorite color combinations for my card!! Black,Ripe Persimmon and Picked Raspberry!! LOVE these colors!!
I got this Pegboard Die from MFT the other day...love it!! I'm sure i'll be using it many,many times in the future!! I die cut some Tim Holtz watercolor cardstock using this die! Than i added some Ripe Persimmon and Picked Raspberry to it and sprinkled some Heid Swapp black ColorShine over it!!
Than i die cut the large Geometric Rose out of black cardstock and the small Geometric Rose ( both are from Clearly Besotted ) out of white cardstock and sponged it with Ripe Persimmon!
The pretty flower is also from Clearly Besotted,from their Flowers and Flourishes Stamp and Die Set and also colored it with distress inks! The sentiment is from CB's Sentimental Type!

I think summer has finaly arrived! I guess...it's always an up and down here lately!! ;) But the past 3 days have been very...very warm!!
Even though,i am not a big summer fan,it's nice though to see the kids have fun outside!! Since it's a holiday here today,my 10 year old already left early with her friend to go swimming!!

I made a pretty quick and simple card for the latest retro sketches Challenge!!

I used one of my favorite Set's from My Creative Time..."Tweet Me" Stamps and Dies!! I love the cute birdies that are included in this Set!!
I cut a stitched panel ( MCT's Stitched Journal Die ) out of Echo Parks Spring Dots and Stripes 8x8 papers.The stitched clouds are also from MCT!
I colored the little cutie with Spectrum Noir Markers!!
